Angelina Jolie has claimed and dethroned Oprah to be named Forbes' 2009 most powerful celebrity in the world.
Even though the TV queen Oprah Winfrey raked in $275 million (top earner in the list), Jolie who just raked in $27 million has the advantage in terms of visibility and publicity.
Forbes' mag says about Jolie, "Eclectic actress and gossip-column favorite dethrones media maven Oprah Winfrey atop this year's Celebrity 100. Jolie has always been able to attract tabloid attention and Oscar nods, but this year, she's finally figured out a way to make serious money. Her most recent blockbuster, Wanted, proved this mother of six's sweet spot is action films; the movie earned $340 million at the box office. Up next: Salt, in which Jolie plays a CIA officer accused of being a spy.
Boxing pound for pound King Manny Pacquiao landed at no. 57 and raked in $40 million.
Forbes' mag says about Pacquiao, "Widely regarded at the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, Pacquiao had two blockbuster fights in the past year: He took on Oscar De La Hoya in December and Ricky Hatton in May. Pac-Man is a huge celebrity in his home of the Philippines and plans to run for political office there once his days in the ring are over. Counts Nike and beer maker San Miguel among his sponsors."
